“In two weeks my energetic little pitbull went from not listening to anything to obeying commands quickly. The little training session at pick-up was especially helpful to ensure we’re doing the right things to reinforce the training. It was tough letting our girl go for two weeks but it was well worth it.”

★★★★★
“I have had many dogs trained by the Dan Gentile Dog Training Center and all were extremely positive. Before I was recommended to Dan Gentile, I had a trainer tell me my dog could not be trained. Dan proved him wrong.”
– Santo Chiarelli, Verified Google Review
★★★★★
“My goldendoodle was not the greatest listener when we dropped her off. When we came to get her two weeks later, she was a well-mannered family member. We always receive compliments on her behavior. So thankful that we brought her to Dan!”
– Kathy Magro, Verified Google Review
★★★★★
“Dan and his crew turned our headstrong puppy into one able to listen and follow commands. He learned how to sit, stay, heel, come, down, and the first night home he lay quietly under the dinner table for an hour surrounded by 8 boisterous adults. It was amazing.”
– Johanna Schoen, Verified Google Review
★★★★★
“I have been using Dan since 1989, he has trained at least 8 of my dogs and I would use him over and over. He is knowledgeable and gets the results required to successfully train a dog.”

“I have entrusted Dan and his team with the training and care of my dogs for 17 years. Never have I been disappointed. The care and professionalism is amazing!”

Burlington is the largest county in New Jersey by land, and that space cuts both ways. Suburban families in Mount Laurel and Evesham need a dog that is calm on a crowded sidewalk and steady around kids and traffic. Families out toward Medford and the Pinelands need a rock-solid recall that will not vanish after a deer. Our board and train builds the reliable, real-world obedience that works in both.
Our 12-acre facility in Howell Township is roughly sixty to eighty minutes from most of Burlington County, including Mount Laurel, Evesham, Moorestown, and Medford.
It is. Whether you are coming from Mount Laurel, Evesham, or Moorestown, the drive is typically about 60 to 80 minutes. Burlington is the largest county in New Jersey by land, so depending on your town you may be closer than you think.
We run four board and train programs: Dog Training and Boarding, Boot Camp for an accelerated timeline, Behavior Modification targeting specific issues like door dashing or leash reactivity, and Vacation Training where your dog learns while you travel. Dogs board on site and train every day, so they typically settle into reliable behavior in about two to three weeks instead of crawling along with once a week classes.
Three and a half to four months is ideal. Burlington County has a nice mix of suburban neighborhoods and open country, which means puppies can pick up habits like chasing wildlife or ignoring commands across big yards pretty early. Starting young helps, but we also welcome older dogs and see them turn around well.
That is part of every program. When you pick up your dog, we walk you through the commands, the routines, and how to handle real situations you will face back in your Burlington County neighborhood. Our approach builds a dog that chooses to listen, not one that only behaves in a controlled setting.
Every single dog gets free lifetime consultations. If something comes up six months later while you are out on a walk in Moorestown or at a park in Evesham, just call (732) 938-5040 and we will talk you through it.
Call us at (732) 938-5040 and tell us about your dog. Dan Gentile, with over 40 years of experience and a veteran owned business, will help figure out which program makes sense for your situation. No pressure, just a conversation.
